CAUSED A
The Testimony in the Mcbride Di-
vorce Case at Paris, Mo.

PARIS, Mo-, Nov. S.-One Of the
saddest divorce cases in the annals
of the Circuit Court here is pro-
crossing now. Mrs. Walker E.
Mcbride is suing her husband for
a divorce, alleging brutal treat
ment and drunkenness. The
evidence adduced last night in the
case showed a bad state of affairs
in their family relations. She al
leges that at one time Mr.. Mcbride
attempted to hit her with a stick of
wood, which missed her head and
split a door in twain, and that he
threatened to shoot her. This tes-
timony was corroborated by her
daughter Bina, aged Is years. The
parties are well connected, being
scions of two of the oldest and at
one time the wealthiest families in
the county.

NOTHING more remarkable in
meteorological freaks has occurred
in the present generation than the
drouth of 1887 in the central east
west belt of the United States. 1t
releases its clutch on this immense
and wealthy territory after months
of tenacious steadfastness, and after
a short respite ofrain adequate only
very partially to repair the injury,
and then renews its grip with the
same old power. The present Wis
itation is necessarily proving very
hurtful to the fall-sown cereals, to
grass, and all late crops, and it is
causing great losses to commerce
by stopping river navigation the
whole extent of the valley, and
materially increasing the cost of
manufacturing power and domestic
fuel. We are losing money by it
most assuredly, but who can say
that there will not be advantages
of some kind in the net balances of
the large providential economies
of which it aliforms o part?

Obituary.


Miss Emily, youngest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Orear, after
a brief illness passed away Thurs
day morning November 3rd, 1887.
Miss Emily had been i'll but a few
days and was not drought to be in
a dangerous condition, and when
the news of her death reached the
ears other friends it seemed a thing
almost incredible. She was a
young lady loved and honored by
all who knew her. The earnestness
she showed in all her duties, the
kindly sympathy that manifested
itselfin her face and speech, and
the sincere devotion to her Lord
and His cause had ever for her a
place of honor in the community,
and when she passed away many
were the hearts that felt the loss of
a true and helpful friend. Her
deeds of love and kindness are
spoken of by all who knew her as a
teacher; she was not only anxious
to train those under her care in
secular knowledge but she desired
also to unfold before and impress
upon their minds divine truth.
Her death is indeed a loss, and in
this hour of sore bereavement to
the members other family, we ex-
tend our sympathy and point them
TO the Savior for that comfort the
world cannot give and cannot take
away.
ssFor a small moment have I for
saken thee, but with great mercies
viii l gather thee. In a little
wrath / hid my face from thee for a
moment, but with everlasting kind
ness will / have mercy on thee,
saith the Lord, thy redeemer-" w.
